Very interesting, and that constant folding trick is handy!

I live on a remote island too, but it has a bridge! Same feeling: Wouldn't want to live anywhere else!

Indeed, I think he's repeating something that is today outdated information. With RVA profiles, we know what desktop-class RISC-V looks like, and that's what people might compare against ARM.

Thank you! That explains it. I must have made the example for 0.11!

I used the "official" example. It's OK that things break - just that I can't figure out how to update my previously working code. So, I'm wondering - where is the updated official example of using the HTTP client?

Somehow it was uBlock. Disabled it and the game starts just fine!

Is "call to eval() blocked by CSP" supposed to happen? I'm on Firefox.

I was just playing this myself. Felt like finding a gem in a sea of uninteresting games.

As usual the HTTP client example is broken again: https://github.com/fwsGonzo/libriscv/blob/master/binaries/zi...

Congrats on shipping a game! It's truly an insane amount of work these days, with all the competition out there.

I saw that. Keep in mind that libriscv is 35% faster than wasm3, and it looks like wasmi is not as fast as wasm3 yet. But they are making good progress.

I've been at it for a few years now and my experience with game engine scripting is that the functions are small, and that it's helpful or pleasant to have the ability to make many calls back into the game engine to ask for things

Nothing wrong with using WebAssembly, if you wish to. eBPF I'm not so sure is a good fit. Most people are just fine with Lua, LuaJIT or Luau though. This is really just for especially interested, or if you really need low latency.

This whole comment sounds dismissive towards both me and RISC-V as an architecture people actually run their computers on. I have a lot of blog posts that you can read to get up to speed. Or maybe you already made up your mind.

You're right! I actually did try to integrate a compiler, but I quickly realized that it wasn't worth it for me, personally. Iterating on the script is very quick right now. It's mostly a matter of compiler flags and ccache,

by fwsgonzo 2y ago
Yeah, I can confirm that the iteration speed is fast. I consider the scripting portion a solved problem right now, having used it so long. Gamedev is so many other things though, and practically every corner of the engine has to have conven

by fwsgonzo 2y ago
I spent a lot of time on those benchmarks. I think my conclusion is just that because WASM isn't a register-machine architecture, you basically have to implement a register allocator to be really fast. wasmtime uses a complex allocator

by fwsgonzo 2y ago
Ah yeah, I have installed RISC-V with a oneliner in WSL. So it's not too far off on Windows, but I mostly program on Linux these days. You can also build on a Linux VM and share it to Windows, but what kind of iteration loop is that? I

Maybe I'm old now. I'll remove it from the article! Reading back on it, it seems like I'm writing negatively about Lua, despite using it for many years. I think highly of Lua, and especially think it has made so many things e

Writing performant code is a highly complex and arduous task that is highly dependent on compiler, language, system, hardware and actual needs. It's also about understand the black box that is your program by using tools beside the pro

I see. Guess I'm moving away from Medium then.
